He's as healthy and hale as someone who drank as much wine as he did can be. I'll be staying up all night to make sure he doesn't aspirate and die, I promise you.
you sure you're good with that i can come get him if you want
[ though that would mean leaving the comfortable nest he's more or less made with vash and wolfwood, but hey it's vergil and he'd do practically anything for the guy. ]
I can play nursemaid well enough, I assure you. I don't want you to have cause to turn my kneecaps in odd directions should your brother come around as anything less than hungover.
[ okay, so maybe he is correct. maybe dante would do something like that to someone but to gil? maybe, maybe not. he can recognize the fact that vergil likes the guy and he isn't so jealous that he would kneecap the guy for something like that. ]
too bad i'm gonna make it up to you not many people would try to take care of him threat of being kneecapped aside he isn't the most sociable person and when he is he can come off as an ass i know you've known him for a long ass time but the point still stands thank you
it feels terribly informal to simply call you dante, we hardly know one another.
again, worry nothing of it. ten years of tolerating me even for businesses' sake has earned him at least a little of my consideration. i got him into the situation, and it's simply my duty to see him out.
don't bullshit you didn't get him into this it was me if i had stuck around instead of running he wouldn't have come to you but i did and he came to you and you had to deal with the fallout of my stupid ass decision
i've been informed that some people wouldn't encourage their companions to consume enough wine to make the thinking stop, and instead that they should talk about their problems in healthy, alternative ways but sometimes you simply don't wish to have a discussion. nothing wrong with that. i'm a safe, neutral party, nothing more. you've done nothing irreparable or irreversible.
you're not some people and neither is he that was probably the best considering we've never talked about our problems in a healthy way you can stop trying to make me feel better it was still my fault you've had to deal with this i left him to deal with those memories because i was too much of a coward and just so you know you're more than just some neutral party vergil wouldn't go to just anyone and he sure as shit wouldn't get wasted with just anyone he hates letting his guard down
i don't particularly care how you feel, i simply speak my honest assessment of a situation regardless of what that ends up looking like. if i was put out or displeased by stepping into the situation, i wouldn't have. there's no force on this earth or any earth beyond that can make me do something i truly don't wish to. i am a perfectly neutral party, which makes me rather safe to be messy around--whether you act for good or for ill, i don't care as long as i'm entertained.
he doesn't appreciate my possum ring. how could you consider us close, after such a slight?
I have a full name with a proper patronymic, even, but Westerners can neither pronounce it nor spell it so I just go by Gil. We're not the same, Dante not-Vittore.
[ honestly! ]
Yes. I've been told I'm brutally honest before, and as long as one uses their bluntness for good and ill, it's a fair way to live.
A possum ring is a ring that summons a possum when you wear it. Vergil doesn't appreciate it, even if I got it from the same flower that gave me poor people bean goo.
just because i don't use one doesn't mean i don't have one technically but i really don't feel like going around introducing myself as dante son of sparda, so i don't simple as that
don't ever change
not surprised vergil wouldn't appreciate a ring that summons a possum when you wear it i gotta know what it looks like because if it just looks like a normal ring then i really don't understand what the fuss is about wiat wait wait poor people bean goo?? gil tell me you mean peanut butter
